ok. so.
i got most of this already? i think, at least.
there's chroma, and demi-chroma, and you get frisky to get... chroma? yeah. demi-chroma you have to mine.
so i'll try not to ask about any of that stuff
but i guess my big question is
is this anyone else's second big trip offworld?
like. has anyone else here gone through this whole "kidnap and wake up somewhere else" thing
because even if this place is way better than duplicity i would really kind of... rather not? keep popping around in different places.
is this a condition? do i have teleportitis or something fake like that basically.
also, if anyone here knows... uh. jeez. jupiter, neptune, saturn, ren, reverie... actually if anyone here recognizes "venus?" that's probably easier. let me know if you remember me i guess
also also, do piercings heal up when you come here or is that just a devil thing. just curious. it's a hypothetical question i guess.
also also also, does any place around here do piercings cheap? i'm kind of broke. like not hypothetically broke.

Looking down at their hands for a second and everything.]
What, like -
Holding hands for Chroma...? I -
I don't think it's that forward, like, you kinda need it?
[did duplicity fuck up her sense of forwardness oh god are her social skills permanently fucked]
no subject
[ that is absolutely, 100%, the single sketchiest way to reply to that question possible. after a moment, she clears her throat - covering her mouth with her spare hand - and speaks sheepishly. ]
It's sort of... I don't really know what is and isn't okay at this point? Like, Duplicity was pretty- you know. And this place has, like... vibrators, and costumes, and stuff like that all over too. There's less of them, but still, it's like - how different is it really, you know??
no subject
Nah, I totally get what you mean. These places have the same vibe...
[...]
That's not meant to be a pun.
But at the same time, it's way better than Duplicity ever was - this place has basically been a vacation for me since I showed up a couple months ago.
The Prismals are just, uh...
... Open.
Really, really open.
no subject
[ i want you to understand that this line is delivered without a trace of irony. venus just looks sort of confused. ]
But yeah I've heard it's not... like. You're not going to get brainwashed? I think? People actually haven't given me a direct yes or no on that part yet.
no subject
Like, of course the Prismal reacted weird, her wings are WEIRD...
Awesome! But weird.
Either way, though -]
Uh... jury's still out on that part. At any rate, if anything goes sideways, it's not the Prismals doing it.
You've heard about the Moonblessings, right?
no subject
Oh. Yeah, I was kind of wondering if that'd be it. [ she doesn't even sound upset. just... kind of tired, honestly. ] Sort of? It's why some people have, like. The cool sheep wool, right.
no subject
I turn into a fish, for the record. Just to get that out of the way.
[Well, a koi. Snake. Koisnake.]
But it's, uh... it's not brainwashing or anything? It's more like... certain blessings can come with their own instincts, I guess?
It's kinda like PMSing since it's once a month and pretty intense, but with scales and fur.
Not everyone gets'em, either, and it can vary every month for someone, too.
I know Cordis ends up starving every time, and Iris can get, uh...
[She pauses for a moment, here, kind of dancing around the word she knows she SHOULD use.]
... I'm gonna go with "frisky".
Sanguis gets violent.
For your sake, I'm hoping you're Cordis.
no subject
[ that's... probably not what jiro meant you to take from that, venus. but it's a nice try nonetheless. ]
Oh, so it's just like... Being high, or eating the orange mushrooms, or stuff like that. [ the more venus tries to relate to all this, the worse things get? ] Or like, how once I let the devil in, I sort of knew I could just- fix my body? Like, I just had to find the seams and crack them open. Kind of like that?
[ venus what in the literal fuck are you talking about at this point ]
Also being super hungry kind of sucks? Like... is Iris just. You know those aphro bottles? The little strawberry ones, where your brain just kind of fuzzes over and you don't really care who you're going to get stuck with on the next ghost ship or Ferris wheel or anything anymore? That doesn't sound too bad.
[ ...VENUS... ]
no subject
At least Venus is finding things to relate it too, but...]
I meant more like animal instincts. We get animal instincts.
Sanguis makes me angry and territorial, Iris puts people in heat, that kinda thing.
[So she's an ANGRY fish.]
no subject
[ there's a brief silence as venus clearly contemplates jiro's words. or at leas,t she tries to? the wheel is clearly spinning, but it's not really clear how many hamsters are in the cage, if you catch my drift. ]
...so wait, do you go full fish? Like, is it a problem if you're not near water?
[ ding ding ding! she's not even on the same topic at this point. ]
no subject
House is getting power, but she's clearly lacking a few lightbulbs.
That's okay! She can deal with that. That's easy for her to handle.
Which mostly means letting out a sigh and allowing the topic change; Venus can chew on the rest of it later if she needs to.]
Nah, I don't go full fish... I mean, I gotta stay at least kinda wet or my scales dry out and get itchy?
But it's more like I'm half fish.
With some snake thrown in for good measure, I guess. I'll show you next time Sanguis rolls around if you want.
no subject
[ ...she's blushing. do you want to know why she's blushing? probably not. also, she'd take offense to that analogy, if only because the power isn't the big issue, and there's DEFINITELY enough light bulbs to go around?? it's just. the circuit isn't quite connecting.
it's adhd. it's adhd, is what i'm getting at. venus is written as having adhd. the blinking lights she sees distracts her and (rambles for fifteen pages about WKTD) ]
But still, that's kind of a pain? Like, I guess you could just hang out in your shower, but still... That's gotta get old, right?
no subject
Y'know, the territorial thing?
[the dating thing is also a new development but w/e]
But yeah, it does. I get lotions to make up for it. They sell a lot of stuff like that around here - scale lotion, fur cream, stuff for growing tails and wings and whatever...
That kinda junk.
I'll have to show you where to get that kinda stuff whenever your cycle rolls around.
no subject
[ all that stuff about scale lotion has now been discarded. they have... IMPORTANT things to discuss. like how jiro has a girlfriend, which is 1) very cute and 2) means she TOTALLY got the right vibes off her in the first place!! nice. ]
no subject
[She hadn't expected the conversation to take that kinda shift, somehow, and predictably her face is turning a nice shade of pink to go with it.
But she's starting to smile a bit, too.]
... Yeah. I do. She's one of my classmates from back home.
Is it a big deal or something?
no subject
No way! [ even if her actions are very clearly indicating that yes, it's kind of a big deal. ] I just thought, you know... It's cute? It's really cute. I didn't think you were really into anyone back in Duplicity, so now, it's like... Wow! They must be so cool. I kind of want to meet her??
[ venus, you gay disaster. ]
no subject
I mean, even before we said anything about how we feel, we were pretty close...
I probably wouldn't have left her side if she'd gotten stuck back there, too.
[Sounding contemplative... but! She shakes her head a bit.]
But I'm sure you'd like her. She's way cool.
Classy and smart, too... the classic genius type.
And I'm sure she'd like you, too, of course.
no subject
[ she's really not trying to be embarrassing! honest!! she just... it's really sweet okay?? ]
Jupiter was kind of like that?? Except for how she always just sort of gave up at the last second. But everyone knew she was kind of a genius, you know? [ a beat. ] ...are you sure she'd like me?
no subject
But she nods.]
Yeah, I am. I wouldn't say so if I wasn't, y'know?
She'd probably think you're cute. ... And you'd think she's cute, too.
'Cause she is, you know. Totally adorable.
[Does Momo have any flaws? Hard to say!! She doesn't when Jiro's talking her up, anyway.]
no subject
[ but even as she deflects and recenters on jiro, she's absolutely preening at the other girl's assessment. momoyao would think she's cute!! she's never met momoyao but she can basically GUARANTEE she's cute, because jiro obviously has good taste?? ]
Oh my god. And she's here, too, right? [ wait. wait, hold up. with a sudden and abrupt flare of caution, venus asks sotto voce: ] Oh, um, is she- you know. A Hero?
no subject
She leans in with a grin, though, and almost just as quietly:]
She's an even better Hero than I am.
Maybe the best out of the whole class, even.
no subject
[ that probably doesn't get the response jiro was expecting? there's a bit of awe there, to be sure, but also... a degree of disappointment? no, that's not it. nerves, maybe? ]
So, just to check... [ how do you put this. hm. ] When you say she's the best Hero, is she- a Good Person? Not, you know, a good person, but a Good Person? [ this is going nowhere. she scratches her hair with one hand, and crosses her arms, and asks nervously: ] Is the part where I'm the devil going to be an issue?
no subject
I think part of being an actual good person is accepting someone no matter what or who they are. A Hero should be happy to save anyone, no matter what. But I know that's not a totally popular opinion.
Personally, I think it's cool...
[But that's also her opinion, not Momo's. She doesn't need much time to think on that, though.]
I'm sure it won't be an issue, though. Yaomomo might be kinda surprised at the start, but you're nice and you're easy to talk to; you two'll get along fine.
Though you'll probably get something goofy like, "I see why you guys are friends" or something.
no subject
[ it's probably the fondest thing she's said in a while. maybe if heroes were more like jiro, she wouldn't have to ask these kinds of questions. although, speaking of questions- ]
Wait, what's that supposed to mean??
no subject
Smiling?]
Nothing bad. Don't worry about it.
It's just obvious why we'd be friends, I think.
Like, look at you...
[The tone's goofy, like she's teasing Venus, but she doesn't mean anything bad by it.
Venus just really does give off the kinda air that Jiro vibes with - a true blue loveable idiot.]
And anyway, don't tell any of my classmates I said this, but... sometimes I think that kinda thought process comes with the mutant-type Quirk territory, you know?
'Cause it's hard not to just treat everyone the same when you're always the one who's different from everyone else.
